Pet care experience
Ever since I was a toddler I've been a dog lover. From that age I began learning about dogs and what it means to be the caretaker of such lovely companions. I even started early with big dogs! My first 'puppy friend', as I would call him, was a fully grown Rottweiler named Bronx. I was only 4 when I first met him. Fast-forward to 2007, and I'm the elated owner of a 2 month old bully breed mix named Blaze! IMPORTANT: My calendar here on Rover will reflect my availability in general, but for specifics (such as walking availability/drop-in visits on weekdays), just contact me and I'll give you my detailed availability. I am currently attending USF at the Tampa campus for fall, spring, and summer semesters. I have zero years of paid experience, but I have been caring for and sitting for dogs since I was about 10 years old. It's the love I have for dogs that keeps me active on Rover, and when I'm on duty I make sure to tend to the animals' needs to the fullest extent before leaving or taking a break. I exercise them daily and play with them until their energy is healthily spent for the time being. Of course, I keep an eye on their water supply, and clean any bowls if they look dirty. If they're like my dog and are trained to go to the door to be let out to relieve themselves, I'd keep an eye on them to watch when they head to the door. I also know how to read several signs of annoyance or discomfort so I could keep my distance in the event of an unhappy dog. Regarding the Cat Care Rate: I won't apply this charge if I'll be caring for the dogs as well. It only applies when cats are the only animals I'll be caring for. Regarding the Bathing and Grooming Rate: I'll only apply this charge for baths.

Great visit!
Ashlee was punctual and our 11 week old Rottweiler loved her immediately. She did a great job!
Ashlee was wonderful with Max. This allowed me to have a worry-free vacation!
Thanks as always Ashley! Riker is a happy boy! Looks like you did a great job! We really appreciate it!

Information Ashlee H. would like to know about your pet
-Neutered/intact? -Weight and physical strength (in case lifting the dog is necessary, or if the dog has a tendency to pull on walks) -Any behavioral problems to watch out for? (i.e. dog aggression, aggression towards small animals, severe separation anxiety, a puller on walks) -Any allergies? -Feeding schedule -Exercise schedule -Habits that make them nervous? (some dogs rescued from abuse may be nervous when a hand is raised near them, for example) -Vet information
A typical day
As far as walking locations, I first listen to any recommendations/preferences the owner has. If there aren't any, then a walk around the dog's familiar neighborhood is what they can expect. If there's a park nearby, they can look forward to a walk or jog there as well! Few things bring me more joy than when a dog brings their toy to me, asking to play with them. Whether it's tug-o-war, fetch, or hide-n-seek, I can provide enough fun for your dogs to satisfy them until they regain enough energy to come back for more!
